I have completed my IPC CID+ with Quadra and my main focus is single-sided and multi-layer board design, PTH and thermal analysis.
I have 20+ years of PCB design experience with the last 12 years solely using Altium, I also have experience with mechanical design usually involving finding solutions in both PCB and mechanical design.
I have good knowledge and working practices for PCB design, including HDI, EMC, SMPS, RF, small-signal and analogue, and high speed digital electronic designs using DDR3/4, PCIe, USB, etc Ethernet and SERDES.
I joined the Quadra Sales Team in July 2021 and I am involved with all things PCB related including eCADSTAR, PCB Design Services, Board Manufacture and Assembly and Training. This includes Customer Account Management, Quotations, Demonstrations, Liaising with our PCB Design Team and Manufacturing Team as well as providing assistance for our eCADSTAR Essential and IPC CID / CID+ Training Courses.
I have 20+ years of experience in Sales and Administration, which enables me to have a good understanding of customer requirements along with a good knowledge of our Admin systems.
In my spare time, my interests include family, socialising and most sports.
I have worked for Quadra for over 10 years and have been in the PCB industry for over 40. My background in consumer electronics and ICT testing means I can support and guide you with all your design work.
My main focus is Multi-layer and Flexi boards and I can use various different software packages including Altium, Mentor and Cadence.
I have worked in the PCB design industry for over 38 years, I have designed a wide range of boards from cost-effective high volume products to highly complex analogue/digital systems for a wide range of industries including nuclear and medical.
My main areas of expertise include Signal Integrity/EMC, SI and PI, analogue, digital, SMPS and RF microwave design.
I started my career in research and development, upon returning to higher education to complete an MSc I worked as an associate lecturer in both electronics and mechatronics before joining Quadra in 2021 as an Applications Engineer / PCB Designer.
As an application engineer, I predominantly work within application support offering continued support to our customers and training in eCADSTAR, whilst working closely with sales to help inform new customers of the capabilities of the tool we use. I also undertake PCB design and reverse engineering work in both CADSTAR and eCADSTAR to serve the other half of my role.
I am the Technical Director for PCB design at Quadra. My main areas of expertise are impedance control, PI and SI analysis, DDR2,3,4 and PCI.
I am trained in advanced technologies, design for manufacture and high-density circuit boards. I have been involved in many industry projects over the years including, aerospace, defence and automotive.
